Info

When a neo-Nazi group of terrorists is set to blow a pop concert off the face of the earth because it is an anti-racist benefit, they are faced with the intrepid Jean-Pierre Mougin, a macho sports reporter with zero tolerance for Nazi hate crimes. Going along with Mougin to stop the bombing is Lyza, whose brother was killed by this group of fascists, and so she is ardently seeking revenge. After Mougin gets his hands on a videotape that reveals the plot to blow up the concert and its audience, he and Lyza join forces. As the fuse gets shorter and shorter, Mougin is also joined by sympathetic street gangs. Thus reinforced, he faces his opposition (including crooked cops) in increasingly more desperate attempts to stop Murmeau, the leader of the Nazi gang, from carrying out his terrorist objective.

Urgence Audience Reviews

YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
dbdumonteil "Urgence" is one of the many "political" movies which thrive in the 1975-1985 French cinema.This one is rather pleasant to watch because of the solid cast (Richard Berry,Donnadieu,Jean-François Balmer and Georges Géret)but the plot is rather thin and the implausibilities are everywhere.Good intentions -denouncing neo-nazis groups -rarely make satisfying movies and "urgence" is no exception.The final lines which appear on the screen -a device that was overused since "Z" (Costa-Gavras,1969) and are overkill in lieu of a serious conclusion.
